Each year, hundreds of University of Michigan students do some form of an alternative break, or service experience during a University break. These experiences provide a fun and meaningful opportunity to learn about and address important social issues in communities around the country and the globe. After having an alternative break, members often seek to continue their involvement on campus, in their own communities, and in partnership with other communities. If you’re planning an alternative break or service trip for your student group or organization, these workshops will help you to make the experience ethical, fun, and meaningful.
